Dicey Peaks is a thrilling tile and dice game for 2-6 players, created by acclaimed designer Scott Almes (the Tiny Epic series, Harbour). Racing to the fabled flag atop Yeti Mountain, players take turns rolling dice and skillfully choosing whether to climb or rest. As you advance, you'll reveal tiles that can help or hinder your progress. Avoid avalanches and watch out for the Yetis… for when they attack, you might lose more than just your turn! If you crave adventure, suspense, and danger, then scale your way to the top of Dicey Peaks!

Calliope Games began as a collaboration between my sister Dawne Weisman, her husband Jordan Weisman and myself, Ray Wehrs. All of us are experienced game industry professionals who have worked together since 1999 when we collectively launched WizKids. Calliope Games has been producing and selling quality tabletop games since 2009. Our products are inspired by family for families. To date we have released 14 titles, many of which were brought to life here on Kickstarter!

At Calliope Games, we publish fun, affordable, family-style tabletop games for all to enjoy.

With gamers in mind, our games make the perfect "gateway" or "filler" game. They allow you to easily draft your non-gamer friends into your favorite hobby. Calliope games are excellent for starting out game night and are easily played between heavier games.
It’s important to point out to our non-gamer friends that we do take a slightly different approach to the games we produce. At Calliope, we focus on entertaining adults; however, the games we produce allow children to compete with their parents without the parents “throwing” the game. It’s a really a pretty simple concept; instead of having the parents step down into the child’s world, we are inviting the child to step up into the parents' world.

For gamers and non-gamers alike, the results of our efforts are games that are accessible by all players regardless of skill level or age, play in under 60 minutes, are affordably priced, and most of all… are a blast to play!

Scott Almes is a game design powerhouse. With games like Martian Dice and Best Treehouse Ever, as well as his incredibly successful Tiny Epic series with Gamelyn Games, Scott has proven time and again that he knows how to make enjoyable, unique games with a wide variety of game styles and levels of complexity. We are honored that he has brought an amazing gateway game to us in Dicey Peaks.

We are proud to have worked with hundreds of visionary backers on Kickstarter to bring several of our games to life. With your help, we have sailed treacherous waters in Tsuro of the Seas, shaken the dice in Roll For It!, and even brought an unprecedented new collection of games to life with the Titan Series. We cannot thank you enough for your support! Your participation in this Kickstarter campaign will help us achieve two very important tasks: it will help subsidize the production of the game and aid in building an immediate interest for the product.

Risks and challenges

With any venture there are risks... those that are seen, and those that are unseen. The biggest foreseeable risks we currently face are manufacturing in China and shipping issues from China to our warehouse here in the US.

Each of these risks is greatly minimized with Calliope Games. Our factories have been with us for many years. They know how we work and the quality we expect. In addition, our freight forwarder and fulfillment teams are world class and have over 30 years of expertise to rely upon. If any issues arise, we will know of them far in advance and will be able to overcome them.

As far as the unseen risks... we know they are there and we have built a safety margin into our costs of goods sold to prepare us for the unforeseen. To date we've launched 14 games under the Calliope brand and have avoided all major production issues.

If we determine you are not a retailer and you chose this option, we will send you two deluxe Dicey Peaks games. No refunds will be issued. Result of the verification process by Calliope Games will be final.

Kickstarter is not a store.

ADVANCED

An unforgettable rustic* adventure! This experience includes two DELUXE copies of the game - autographed by Scott Almes - plus a trip for one (1) person to the fabled Wehrs cabin in Washington, at the foot of "Yeti Mountain" (Mt. Baker) to join the Calliope team and designer Scott Almes for a weekend of gaming and outdoor adventure!

IMPORTANT: Exact date of the trip to be determined after the conclusion of the project, and based on schedule and availability of participants. Specifics subject to change based on weather and other unavoidable factors.

*When we say rustic, we mean rustic. While there are most modern utilities, this is an unfinished, bare floor cabin in the woods!
